Using critical point theory, we study the existence of at least three solutions for a perturbed nonlinear Dirichlet boundary value problem for difference equations depending on two positive parameters.     

Existence of solutions for a perturbed Dirichlet problem without growth conditions

We present some results on the existence and multiplicity of solutions for boundary value problems involving equations of the type −Δu=f(x,u)+λg(x,u), where Δ is the Laplacian operator, λ is a real parameter and , are two Carathéodory functions having no growth conditions with respect to the second variable. The approach is variational and mainly based on a critical point theorem by B. Ricceri.     

Three weak solutions for elliptic Dirichlet problems

An existence result of three non-zero solutions for non-autonomous elliptic Dirichlet problems, under suitable assumptions on the nonlinear term, is presented. The approach is based on a recent three critical points theorem for differentiable functionals.     

Existence of three weak solutions for a perturbed anisotropic discrete Dirichlet problem

In this paper, we study the existence of at least three distinct solutions for a perturbed anisotropic discrete Dirichlet problem. Our approach is based on recent variational methods for smooth functionals defined on reflexive Banach spaces. Some examples are presented to demonstrate the application of our main results.     

Three solutions for a mixed boundary value problem involving the one-dimensional p-Laplacian

This paper deals with two mixed nonlinear boundary value problems depending on a parameter λ. For each of them we prove the existence of at least three generalized solutions when λ lies in an exactly determined open interval. Usefulness of this information on the interval is then emphasized by means of some consequences. Our main tool is a very recent three critical points theorem stated in [Topol. Methods Nonlinear Anal. 22 (2003) 93-104].     

Multiple solutions for a two-point boundary value problem

In this paper, using a recent result of Ricceri, we prove two multiplicity theorems for the problem −u^″=λf(u)+μg(x,u), u(0)=u(1)=0, extending a previous result that G. Bonanno obtained for μ=0.     

Multiple positive solutions for a Dirichlet problem involving critical Sobolev exponent

In this paper, we study the decomposition of the Nehari manifold via the combination of concave and convex nonlinearities. Furthermore, we use this result and the Ljusternik-Schnirelmann category to prove that the existence of multiple positive solutions for a Dirichlet problem involving critical Sobolev exponent.     

Infinitely many nonradial solutions to a superlinear Dirichlet problem

In this article we provide sufficient conditions for a superlinear Dirichlet problem to have infinitely many nonradial solutions. Our hypotheses do not require the nonlinearity to be an odd function. For the sake of simplicity in the calculations we carry out details of proofs in a ball. However, the proofs go through for any annulus.

     

Three solutions for a p-Laplacian boundary value problem with impulsive effects

In this paper, a p-Laplacian boundary value problem with impulsive effects is considered. Multiplicity of solutions is obtained by three critical points theorem. An example is presented to illustrate main result.     

Three solutions for a perturbed Navier problem

In this paper we prove the existence of at least three distinct solutions to the following perturbed Navier problem:

$$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}\Delta (|{\Delta u}|^{p-2}\Delta u) = f(x,u) + \lambda g(x,u) \quad{\rm in}\,\,\,\Omega \\ u=\Delta u = 0 \qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\qquad\quad{\rm on}\,\,\, \partial \Omega,\end{array}\right.$$

where \({{\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^N}}\) is an open bounded set with smooth boundary \({\partial \Omega}\) and \({\lambda \in \mathbb {R}}\) . Under very mild conditions on g and some assumptions on the behaviour of the potential of f at 0 and +∞, our result assures the existence of at least three distinct solutions to the above problem for λ small enough. Moreover such solutions belong to a ball of the space \({W^{2,p}(\Omega)\cap W_0^{1,p}(\Omega)}\) centered in the origin and with radius not dependent on λ.

     

Uniqueness of large radial solutions and existence of nonradial solutions for a superlinear Dirichlet problem in annulii

Here we establish the existence of infinitely many nonradial solutions for a superlinear Dirichlet problem in annulii. Our proof relies on estimating the number of radial solutions having a prescribed number of nodal regions. We prove that, for k>0 large, there exist exactly two radial solutions with k nodal regions (connected components of ). The problem need not be homogeneous.     

Existence and continuity of solutions for vector optimization

Conditions are obtained for the existence of a weak minimum for constrained vector optimization, with a less restrictive compactness hypothesis than usual. Conditions are also derived for the upper and lower semicontinuity of the multifunction describing weak minimum points. The results are applicable to semi-infinite vector optimization.

Equivalence of weak Dirichlet's principle,the method of weak solutions and Perron's method towards classical solutions of Dirichlet's problem for harmonic functions

For boundary data ? ∈ W ^1,2(G ) (where G ? ?^N is a bounded domain) it is an easy exercise to prove the existence of weak L ²‐solutions to the Dirichlet problem “Δu = 0 in G, u |_?G = ? |_?G ”. By means of Weyl's Lemma it is readily seen that there is ? ∈ C ^∞(G ), Δ? = 0 and ? = u a.e. in G . On the contrary it seems to be a complicated task even for this simple equation to prove continuity of ? up to the boundary in a suitable domain if ? ∈ W ^1,2(G ) ∩ C ⁰( ). The purpose of this paper is to present an elementary proof of that fact in (classical) Dirichlet domains. Here the method of weak solutions (resp. Dirichlet's principle) is equivalent to the classical approaches (Poincaré's “sweeping‐out method”, Perron's method). (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
